Mission
Our mission is to discover materials for a safer, sustainable future.
Learn more about why new materials can change the world and how we intend to do it.
Working for
a Safer World.
a Safer World.
Materials discovery has the power to transform the world.
The course of human history has been shaped, and reshaped, by the discovery and mastery of new materials.
This is especially true of the modern world, where material discoveries have transformed our lives.
For example:
Discovering the process for synthesizing ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen
ignited large scale fertilizer production and growth.
This has allowed the global population to surpass 8 billion people.
Discovering the application of zeolites as catalysts
allowed for the conversion of crude oil into gasoline.
This spurred the age of the machine and global trade.
Discovering the process of creating polymers
has led to creation of plastics and synthetic fibres.
This has ushered in the age of vast consumer products and material wealth.
These discoveries certainly have benefits. But they have also come with safety consequences.
For Example:
Ammonia fertilizers pollute our water through nutrient runoff.
Zeolite-based gasoline production increases carbon emissions and worsens extreme weather.
Plastic polymers accumulate in landfills, oceans and poison our bodies via microplastics.
We are a lab on a mission.
We pioneer accelerated research methods to address global challenges.
Leveraging AI and robotics, we to develop novel materials in two main categories: Eco-remediation and Energy Generation and Storage.
Eco-Remediation
Novel, commercially relevant materials that selectively and permanently remove GHGs and pollutants from the atmosphere and provide safe, clean water in challenged environments.
Energy Generation
and Storage
and Storage
Novel, commercially relevant materials that selectively and permanently remove GHGs and pollutants from the atmosphere and provide safe, clean water in challenged environments.
